Exposing Their True Character,

It is unprecedented that a political party
has exposed to view with so much aban-
don its sordid character, as has the
Democratic party of Maine within a few
weeks past For quarter of century it
hs.ss been the proud boast of that organiza-
ton that it was band Of patriots, held to-
gether by love of country, and working for
the welfare of the nation. Any insinuation
that they were simply after the loaves and
fishes was repealed with scorn, and in high
sounding phrase they dedicated themselves
once year in convention assembled to the
common veal. 1t was to reform the govern
ment and bring it back to the simplicity of
the Jeffersonian era that nerved them in bat
tie and sustained them in defeat That is to
say, they told us so. Look on this picture
of their promises, and then on this Of their
performances.
Calais has been governed by the Republi-
cans for many years. OF course it follows,
If 1--WE are to believe Democratic platforms,
that it has been governed badly, and is
honeyeombed with corruption. For years
the Democracy struggled to rescue it from
its sad fate and introduce honesty and re
form. This year, however, they have given
up the struggle. For what reasonP They
themselves tell us in proclamation 1t is
because the Democratic collector of the
Passamaquoddy district has not pleased the
Democracy by his appointments. One Office
in his gift has been bestowed upon Repub-
Iican. This has demoralized the Democratic
marty of Washington county. Their pat
riotism has evaporated The cry of
Honesty and Reform no longer rallies them.
The spectacle of the wicked Republican en-
Shaving the masses no longer rouses them.
Calais may 20 to the dogs and so may the

Their Buckspart brethren are of the same
way OF thinking. They are willing to save the
country only on promise that they shall be
well paid for it. And as condition preceds
entof labor in this direction all the offices in
the gift Of the Bucksport collector must be
turned over to the unterrifed. The Eastport
Democracy have issued similar ultimatum,
and in Augusta the same spirit seems te pre-
vail.
TO the Bangor Commercial 1t looks as If
the Democracy were getting demoralized
The Generalization, however, dates from
way back. They are just getting an Oppor-
tunity to exhibit their true inwardness.

The Convict Labor Problem,

Convict labor is attracting much attention
and study in New England at present Here
in Maine we awaiting the yerifcation of
solution of the problem which the last
Legislature made. In other States very diff
ferent solutions are proposed; in Canada
paper called the Philosophic Mechanic has
presented a plan altogether different
from any yet proposed, and SO novel and fan
ciful that 1t would pass for satire did it APP
pear anywhere but in a Dominion noted for
grave and dignifed journals. The idea which
underlies the article is theoretically attrae-
tive; namely, that the competition of con-
victs should not be made to fall ON manual
laborers alone. that the professions should
be made to bear their share Of the burden.
This is part of the Philosophical Mechanics
amusing elaboration Of the plan:
Let the competition of the conyicts be general
ther Workingmen would not complain if the in
as mechanically employed. Why Should they ali
be set TO MAMMAL occupations? 1t is notorious
that many Of them are very clever. Not few
have acquired in freedom, or in the effort to COM
bine 1t with knavery, considerable acquaintance
with the law. Why should their talents and ex-
perience not be utilized fer the general good?
Why should they not be set to acquire an intima-
cy with Coke, Blackstone the rest Of the great le
gal writer's, and the decisions Of the Courts?
tracted by the frivolous enjoyments Of the outer
world, they would OF course, soon become profound
lawyers under proper direction. Think to what pub
lie benefit their knowledge might then be utilized!
A poor mechanic threatened with distraint by
wicked landlord, or with suit by some other de-
PRAYED person. could 60 to the confined and State
supported legal luminary for free advice Thus
he could save from two TO five dollars, exactly as
lawyer saves money by purchasing prison-made
commodities. Why not? Mechanics would see
with unalloyed satisfaction the competition to
which the suggested plan would submit the legal
profession. And why, in the name of JUSTICE
should honest mechanics be submitted TO convict
competition any more than honest lawyers?
For other professions, as well as the law,
this amazing scheme is worked out by the
writer, who sees in his imagination the Jail
filed with highly cultured convicts. Com
ing as this suggestion does from Canadian
journal, the source of the writer's inspira-
ton is quite evident His ideal of convicts
is probably formed from the American bank
robbers and cmbezzlers whom he sees about
him. They, being among the ''smartest" OF
humanity, might learn Coke and Blackstone
If they could be confined within prison walls.
The trouble is they cannot be put there.

Stanley is astonished at the decadence OF

Some time ago the PRESS remarked that
the opposition of the New York and Penn
sylvania Democracy to high license measures
showed their hopeless slavery TO the liquor
dealers. Ar. George L. Kimball in letter
to the Argus characterized this remark as an
admirable specimen of cool cheek, and ar
gued that it showed no such thing as the
PRESS claimed. The PRESS subsequently
asked Mr.. Kimball to tell why the Demo-
cratic representatives voted solidly against
the high license bill. In effect Mr. Kimball
replies that the, Democrats voted against it
because the Republicans voted for it and it
was partisan Republican measure. Now
perhaps Mr. Kimball will be good enough to
tell us why measure to reduce the number
of rum shops in New York and Brooklyn is
partisan Republican measure?

The timely capture of Graves has prevent

relates that bewildered deer hunter, who
arrived at camp at the head Of Richardson
Lakes last week, minus hat, snow shoes and

Only one=ffth of the Panama Canal is yet
built, and the cost so far is believed to
amount to $2Oo.0oO,Ooo. Mr.. Boyd, distin-
guished English civil engineer, who has ex-
amined it, believes it will require twelve
years and $45O,0OO.0OO to complete it. The
bankruptcy of the company, he believes,
therefore, to be inevitable sooner or later.
DeLesseps, the younger, who has recently
inspected the canal, tells very different
story, however. He says everything is going
on nicely, the laborers are healthy, the hos
pitfalls empty, and the work is making more
rapid progress than ever before. The canal
willlbe ready for navigation in three years al
the farthest, and so on Evidently young
DeLesseps is a chip of the old block.

Decorative.

Among the many styles of interior
decoration, the one recently introduced
by MIR. G. H. Jack, is certainly unique.
Some work in a parlor of the residence
of Mr.. Fail, 55S E. Third South Street
has been brought to our notice, and
with view to acquainting our art
patrons with recent developments, We
give it brief description.
The centre of the ceiling is adorned
with q conventionaliZed sun, sur
rounded with arabesque for a space Of
several feet; then a border, having the
appearance of bronze columns. This is
supplemented by arabesque work, run
ing from csrtouches, in which are the
neurological beads of Ares, Athena,
Tyche and Apollo. The frieze con-
sists of series of Terpsichorean and
other figures, medallions and scroll
work. At first glance; it would appear
that the decorations had been in
existence for centuries, as the antique
quaintnesS in tone and design has been
thoughtfully counterfeited.
The lovers of ancient classic decora.
tons will be delighted with this most
unique exhibition.
Mr.. Jack says this is the first work he
has done since he assisted Mr.. Lathrop,
of New York, in the elegant dining hall
OF the famous Henry Willard. Ross
Winan's palatial home bears some Of
the handicraft of this gentleman. It
must be seen to be appreciated.

comprehensive rather than technical
and scientific in their character. The
course will embrace a discussion of the
elements of the law, including its ma
ture, sources and applications. The
peculiarly comprehensive and popular
character of the lectures, it is believed
will make them specially interesting
and valuable to civil officers, as well as
civil government and law students;

yers in the country, is guarantee that
